Since Long Ago, The Moon Has Been And Still Is The Light Of The Dark Night Sky Of The Earth. This Beautiful Glowing Tablet Has Inspired Many Artists.

Moon’s Shining, But in the last week, this bright celestial sphere’s brightness has increased and dazzled the human gaze.

The biggest and brightest full Moon imaginable is a guest in night skies around the world this week. This level of clarity and, of course, size has not been seen in the last seventy years.

This phenomenon is known as the “Supermoon” and results from the Moon’s elliptical orbit approaching the Earth, an event that has not been seen since January 1948.

Following this approach, the Moon now passes 348,400 km from Earth, which is nearly 35,000 km closer to Earth than usual. The supermoon is about 14 percent larger and almost 30 percent brighter, at least as seen from Earth.

This issue has also attracted people’s attention, so we are witnessing the recording of spectacular images of the brilliant supermoon that adorns the night sky these days.

Have you noticed this too? If you capture spectacular images of this supermoon, don’t forget to share them with us.

The moon is at its brightest when it is 180 degrees away from the sun from our perspective (picture the sun, Earth, and moon in a straight line). At this time, the entire half of the moon’s surface facing the sun is illuminated and visible from Earth. This is what’s known as a full moon. [Gallery: The Fantastic Full Moon]

At “new moon,” on the other hand, the moon isn’t even visible from our vantage point. This is when the moon is between the sun and the Earth so that the side of the moon reflecting sunlight is facing away from Earth.

In the days before and after a new moon, we’ll see a sliver of the moon reflecting sunlight. And during those times, the faint brightness of the rest of the moon — the part not brightly lit as a sliver — is a result of what scientists call “earthshine,” in which the moon’s relatively dark disk is slightly illuminated by sunlight that reflects off of Earth, then off the moon, and back to our eyes.
